If you didn't want to use mailing list software, just your own mailer,
you could put your own address in the TO field for BCC'd messages.

e.g. To: "Dotan's list recipients" <dotancohen at gmail.com>

That sort of thing, done with some thought, usually explains away some
of the surprise some people get when receiving BCC'd mail.

Of course, if you use a mailing list program, some of them won't use the
recipient's name in the TO field, either.  They'll work rather like my
suggestion.
